On Tuesday evening, Marseille will host Newcastle in the fifth round of the Champions League at Stade Vélodrome in Marseille. The French team won just three points in the CL thus far, while the English team had a nice start, winning nine points in four rounds. For the hosts, this match could be the difference between advancing to the next phase and not.
Let's break down the match and find the best possible bet for this Champions League tie.
H2H stats
The only two h2h duels between two teams were more than two decades ago, in 2004. That time, they met in the Europa League Group stage, with the match in England finishing goalless, while the game in France ended 2:0 in Marseille's favor.
Marseille team overview
In the 21st century, Marseille have been mostly among the top few teams in France. Last year, they finished second, but not even close to the top spot as PSG left them 19 points behind. This season, the popular Olympians are doing really well in Ligue 1, sitting in 2nd place, two points behind the first-placed PSG.
However, in the Champions League, they had a really bad start but were also unlucky in some games, like in the one against Atalanta, when they deserved at least a draw. Now, after four rounds are in 25th place with three points - one point away from the 1/16 Finals spots.
For this match, the players who missed the previous games with injuries should remain sidelined - Nayef Aguerd, Amir Murillo, and Amine Gouiri.

Newcastle team overview
Newcastle had three good seasons behind them, finishing between fourth and seventh place. However, this season, they haven't been on a desired level, currently sitting in 14th place with 15 points from 12 rounds. However, in the Cup competitions (CL and EFL Cup), they are doing well.
In the Champions League, the Magpies are well-positioned to secure a place in the next phase, currently in sixth place.
In the previous game against Manchester City, Lewis Hall suffered an injury and had to leave the field 13 minutes before the end of the game. He will most likely miss the game, along with Harrison Ashby, Jamaal Lascelles, and Yoane Wissa, who had already missed the previous matches.

Prediction
While Marseille haven't been great in the Champions League result-wise, they weren't playing as poorly. They have also been in good form, winning three out of the last four games. Moreover, at home, they have been impressive, winning seven out of nine games across the competitions. Their only loss came against Atalanta (1:0) in a controversial game, which could have gone either way. So, with a little luck, we would speak about an eight-game unbeaten home run.
Meanwhile, Newcastle have had mixed results recently, but most of their good results have happened at home. On the road, they were atrocious, losing three in a row. They have also won just once in seven road games (vs Royale Union SG).
Considering all the above, but particularly Marseille's excellent home form and Newcastle's poor away results, we expect the French team to secure all three points.
4 Reasons why Marseille should (AH 0) win
- Marseille won three out of the last four games
- Marseille lost once in eight home games this season
- Newcastle lost three in a row
- Newcastle won once in seven road games
